Sorry, but I'd hardly call _your_ experience with paludis overlay users
a reliable indicator that g42 news are superior to elog for Gentoo at
large. Please stop pretending that you're speaking for/about the
majority of our userbase when it's just your personal
opinion/experience. Even if you observed it in a few other cases still
doesn't make it true in the general case.

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
